Chose Azure Virtual Desktop
I have not used any other services similar to Azure Virtual Desktop. I have only seen demos and videos but have not tried them or tried implementing them into our environment at the office. I know there are plenty of options available but security is our biggest concern to us
Chose Azure Virtual Desktop
It is better manageability of the resources to reduce the cost. Easy to configure the virtual desktop and access anywhere at any time. Autoscale up the VM on high demands time and then reduce it automatically. Azure Virtual Desktop provides the best security to our application …
Chose Azure Virtual Desktop
I think that the cloud based [Azure] Windows Virtual Desktop is the future and sets the precedent for how these should be configured in the future. I've used cheap options and other more expensive options, but VD is the best when compared to Citrix or freeware. I would …

1. Overall we had excellent cost reduction after migrating from Citrix. We no longer need per-user CALs, and can scale our environment down to match usage. 2. Since the hosts are in Azure, Multi-session Windows 11 is fantastic. 3. Ability to Scale up to meet usage has saved us during several critical outages.

TeamViewer
TeamViewer is really good at handling controlled, vigilant access to systems with an external service provider. It has strong capabilities for file transfer and logging. With that said, TeamViewer could benefit from account-based access as well, or, say, granular access control for each user group, so that no employee can activate TeamViewer from an outside network.

Cons
Microsoft
  • While it is PaaS it would be nice to have some monitoring insights into some parts of the offering
  • Migrating user sessions from one host to another (to be able to downscale) would be awesome
  • It would be nice to have a more seamless deployment of FSLogix in a AVD Enviroment

  • The update Cycle of the Desktop app is sometimes unstable. We downloaded the latest TeamViewer Desktop App from the official site, and it immediately asks us to update.
  • Pricing tier for small teams can be improved.
  • Live subtitles for audio from remote device can be implemented.

We need this tool in our day to day business. It is what we do all day remoting into clients devices. In this day and age we can access devices all over the world as long as we have secure internet connection. It certainly saves money in gas, and even if you are away you can help.

Usability
Microsoft
Stability and latency complaints are common, but not experienced by all users. A drop in overall productivity can be seen in contributors who rely on a lot of copy-pasting for editing, so some such commands are not instantaneous. Set up is intuitive and the tool is simple enough. It was quick to adopt and stick to.

TeamViewer is a reliable and really strong tool for accessing remote IT platforms secure and fast. We don't know any product that provide us such strong functionality to make our life as a internationally recognized MES provider with DIAMES with an international clientele so easy. We look forward for any new TeamViewer functionality that supports us even more.

the few times i have had to contact teamviewer support, they were very responsive and give me quick answers and seemed to understand my problems quickly and easily. I did not have to sit on the phone for hours on hold or get passed around to multiple phone support techs before finding a solution to my issues, so i would rate their support very highly.

As expected without any problem! Alternate in-person training is another efficient way to learn how a product works. There are many third party supporters for TeamViewer courses available that can give additional ideas how to use TeamViewer for specific functions and features as we did require in respect of our usage.

I have never used the online training either. I have watched a few informational videos that were helpful when learning how to do a specific procedure within TeamViewer and get the most out of the software by utilizing one of the many features that are available with the software. Again, 5 if for neutral.

TeamViewer installation and deployment to other devices is pretty straightforward and does not require much technical know-how. This makes ease of use attractive when supporting both new and existing clients with limited technical knowledge. I think ease of use is a huge factor in getting new clients. TeamViewer handles that extremely well.

In my position, I have also used AnyDesk because we frequently utilize various software for different tasks. However, we opted for TeamViewer because our team members are not technically inclined. They are experts in other areas. TeamViewer was the ideal choice for us since we needed a software program that even non-techies could use.

  • We have had a very positive experience using TeamViewer. Due to its reliability and user-accessible interface, it has become an intrinsic part of all our remote debugging sessions.
  • The ability to quickly assert a connection and take over a colleague’s machine has cut substantially the time necessary to provide a resolution regarding intricate problems.
  • These features have also been helpful for code reviews and for those instances when two developers are working on the same piece of code, pair programming or, in general, collaborative development.
